She said: “The curling world has been going crazy since Puff Daddy posted the ad on his Twitter feed last week. I must have seen it a hundred times – I love it.

“You can’t complain about his technique. His delivery is smooth and his performance is incredibly slick.

“If he keeps playing shots like that, there is a possibility he could make Team GB’s men’s curling team for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.”

In the 15-second video for the music mogul’s high-end vodka brand, the rapper crouches down on the ice and launches the stone, which is helped on to the button by two frantic sweepers.

Although there is a strong possibility that Puff Daddy’s head has been photoshopped onto a professional curler’s body, Eve is delighted with the rapper for featuring curling in the advert and raising the profile of the sport.

She said: “Even if Puff Daddy’s face has been digitally added, the fact he has chosen to use curling in the commercial for his vodka is brilliant for the sport.

“Nearly three million people worldwide have seen the advert, which will do wonders for the profile of curling.

“The kudos of the sport and its players has been given a massive boost thanks to a video lasting 15 seconds. Puff Daddy has made curling cool.

“The sport isn’t always recognisable to Joe Public but hopefully folk who see the rapper in action on social media will start asking questions and will want to have a go themselves.”

Eve, who is busy training for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in February, added: “Curling is not always seen as the trendiest of sports by young people but, thanks to Puff Daddy, that could all change.

“I’m not a big rap fan but I might listen to a few more of his tracks now as a thank you for promoting a sport which I consider to be the best in the world.”

Last month, Eve captained Scotland’s women to victory over Sweden in the European Curling Championships final.
